A large hackled spider. On at least a size eight hook. This is merely a
thread body, and a hackle at the head.

Under the circumstances, how about just a foam-bodied spider with
rubber legs? For 6 yr olds, this doesn't even need to be a "real"
fly. Ought to be simple enough, and there's a bluegill somewhere
that'd take it.
